Celebrating 25 years of dedication

2025 is ALIenergy’s 25th anniversary, and we’ve reached new milestones in all our areas of work.

Our Affordable Warmth Service helps vulnerable households struggling with fuel poverty. We’ve been supporting households in Argyll and Bute for many years, but we’ve recently extended our service to cover the whole of the Highlands as well – a big increase in area covered and population served. We’re now supporting several thousand of our most vulnerable households each year and achieving annual total client gains of well over one million pounds, directly to those who need it most.

Our Education Programme is a local economic development project encouraging young people to seek local careers in the renewable energy sector. In 2024 we were able to significantly expand the programme. We now provide teaching resources for all primary schools, and classroom workshops and careers events for all the main secondary schools across Argyll and Bute.

Over the years we’ve been involved in various community energy projects including wind, biomass, hydro and solar installations. We’ve been partners in a series of European community energy projects. And we’ve helped develop and test innovative technologies which aim to help smooth electrical supply and demand, and overcome local grid constraints. Our very latest local renewable energy installation is a solar PV array built in February 2025. During 2024 we also started some exciting work on shared ownership options with larger renewable energy developers.

So this year we celebrate 25 years of achievement: making a difference, helping individuals, families, communities, and the environment. We’d like to THANK all our funders, partners and supporters, without whom none of this would have been possible. However, there is so much more to do. We will continue working towards our vision – a world where everyone lives sustainably, carbon emissions have been cut to safe levels, and everyone has access to clean, safe and affordable energy.
